Wales Factory, Estate closure
BY SHEMUEL FANFAIR
Workers employed at the Wales Sugar Estate on Thursday stood unified as they took strike action against the Guyana Sugar Corporation (GuySuCo) and Government’s decision to close the factory which will affect hundreds of poor and ordinary Guyanese families.
Around 07:00h, hundreds of workers were seen gathered around the estate opting not to perform the day’s duties. Many cane cutters said that GuySuCo has given little explanation on severance pay packages.
